Good riddance!

Troy Edwards was assigned to many high-profile cases — including the team of prosecutors who dubiously convicted J6 Oath Keepers.

AP via U.S. News & World Report has more on his resignation.

James Comey’s son-in-law resigned as a federal prosecutor Thursday minutes after the former FBI director was indicted.

Troy Edwards quit his job “to uphold my oath to the Constitution and the country,” he wrote in a one-sentence resignation letter addressed to Lindsey Halligan, the newly appointed acting U.S. Attorney in Virginia’s Eastern District, the office that charged Comey and employed Edwards.

Edwards was the deputy chief of the National Security Section, a prestigious role in a U.S. attorney’s office that covers the Pentagon and CIA headquarters, handling some of the highest-profile espionage cases.

He was on the team of prosecutors who convicted Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes of orchestrating a violent plot to storm the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, to keep President Donald Trump in the White House after he lost the 2020 election.
